Section Six: Knight's reign

"My name is Saluena. Saluena Hadion, a knight who, a thousand years ago, inscribed his name on the Knights of the Goddess and was called Dark Purple at the end"

The crisp voice of Saluena echoes into the diocese instead of the psalm.

"You've already heard the story. Standing here, Iris Calvafon. Headed by the goddess Ilua, the contemporary Master of Magic Instructions..."

I... was looking forward to it. It's kind of not about me, even though I'm the center thing.

A rare sense of reality...... yes, it was as if watching theatre. It did seem like there was an invisible wall in front of me, even though it was what was happening there.

"And it bears the name of our goddess and owns the Knights!!

"-!?

But it's not. This isn't theatre.

Saluena saw me. It's not a gaze directed at anyone in the audience. A gaze that pierces me intensely.

(The ring is... glowing)

The discomfort I learned at that time in Sorletta's Warrior Guild. That was never my fault.

The engraved silver ring of the Holy Flower emits a white glow and changes its shape. Of course I saw that......

"... the ring... changing shape?

Dear Marie, Sisters, and Clerical Warriors, my eyes are nailed to the changes taking place in my left hand.

"... it is... the Book of Magic, is it?

"Yes, you are."

Hilarious jumped from the back of a unicorn to my shoulder, and Laplice answered Marie-sama's question.

"The goddess Ilua entrusted the thoughts that are in the Isles at the church of Sorletta Ritta. The thought is…" What is not my hope ". I took it and I told him. So no mistake."

Laplice said to me at the usual rate, not like then.

"Come on, Iris. Open it. And do it. To the hope of the goddess Ilua."

"... yeah"

How far can I go? Is it really okay with me in the first place? The question is still dull in my head.

But it's because I empowered the goddess that I'm now... standing here. I want to live up to the expectations of the goddess who has helped me, directly and indirectly, more than once before. If I can help you at all, I want to repay you.

Right. That's how Mr. Peach Seeds felt back then. I can't stay or stand. I was savoring this sensation.

I can't believe I was trying to turn that down, what a thought I have. I knew it, but I'm just a kid who can't grow up yet.

"... the (von) Knights of the Goddess (Riviera) (Iluana)"

I moved my fingers and turned the cover so that I could read the title. Then a vast amount of light diffused, pushing blue full of cathedrals and turning bright white.

"Instead of the goddess Ilua, Iris Calvafon will give your name and sword, strength and… and honor."

Follow with your eyes the letters that come up in that white world. Spin the words out so that you can put your strength into every word.

"Clerical Warrior, Grim Lancerva"

"Ha!"

When I chanted my name loudly, one of the cleric warriors responded briefly.

He seemed like a man with golden hair tied behind him.

"Mirias L'Otangu"

"Ha!"

She has beautiful black hair, she was about the same age as Saluena.

"Luluca Luluca"

"Ha!"

She was a pleasant looking woman with short green hair that I hadn't seen much of.

Calling each person's name, fifty.

"By the word of the oath, it is a covenant. Answer with all your heart, O ye men. Willing to give me my sword. I don't know what this is about."

Towards me finished calling the name of the last one, they shouted proudly with their breasts up.

"" Together we dedicate our eternal loyalty to you. ""

That's a word that clerics and sisters often use against goddesses at the end of their prayers. But now they're sending it at me.

As many as fifty cleric warriors...... no, my body trembles at the heavy pressure of keeping the lives of those who became knights of the goddess. But not enough to be squashed.

Because I have company. Because there are people who stand next to me and support me.

For a moment only, I turned away from the Book of Magic. And I saw Mr. Rosé. She put her hands together in front of her chest as she prayed, and she looked at me. He looked a little surprised when his eyes and eyes met, and then gave me a soldering grin.

"If you..."

The Knights of the Goddess certainly are, I guess, my Knights. But knowing I didn't have to carry that alone, I turned the last page without a shudder.

"Shit! Name it now!! I am a knight. The Knights of the Goddess (Riviera) (Iluana). I am one of them!!

"" "Ooh!!

Listening to the sound of the knights, he quietly closed the Book of Enchantment. Then immediately after that, a kink sounded and the book went back to the ring. So much so that even I could grasp the reflex nerve, desperate due to motor tone deafness, it slowly fell, spinning with a crunch.

Grab the ring and fit it into the index finger of your original left hand. Until now, it was going to come off just a little loose. That's, but now it's perfect.

On this day I became the owner of the Knights of the Goddess (Printufrala), both in fame and in the diocese watched by the Archbishop.
